I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with the transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults age 19 to 69 years old. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and mindfulness teacher I have both graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

My main approach is "cognitive behavioral therapy," because it's often how we see things that make our suffering. It almost always helps to take a close look at our "self talk." It often seems to me our "normal" self talk is designed for misery! I have a healthy respect for the ways in which our "animal brain" governs behavior. I will invite you to take a very close look at what seems to be happening now. We might explore how past trauma is acting on us right now and experiment with exercises to calm the triggered brain. My life experience is rich with problems many of us face. Anger, communication difficulties, deciding to stay or leave a relationship, seeing a loved one in addiction, losing a loved one to suicide; anxiety or depression. Toxic parents. Troublesome adult children. Aging. Chronic pain. I think we are more prone to isolation now. And we judge ourselves for things that are actually beyond our control. I would prefer that we appreciate how precious and worthy we actually are. I'm licensed to practice in Utah. I'm familiar with the culture and I've helped some clients who are experiencing a faith crisis of some sort or another. It's often hard to disclose what we are suffering so even the idea of therapy is scary. We want someone else to "fix it" for us, but soon learn it's going to take some work. Don't give up or settle for a certain level of miserable. Nourish curiosity and personal growth. If you decide to work with me, complete the "information form" and explore the app enough to schedule our first session. A BetterHelp session is intended to be 30 or 45 minutes duration. I prefer 45 min. Except for Mondays and some holidays, or if I am ill, I check the platform daily to catch your messages. I am NOT a morning person, but I can schedule a session to work around your lunch break or your children's school schedule. If you need a time slot that doesn't seem to be open, msg me about a time best for you. I look forward to working with you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Las Vegas, NV, with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, groups who are dealing with anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other mood disorders. It’s extremely important for patients to realize and distinguish the difference between their original true personality and their bodies, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. In other words, YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY, YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS, YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS! You are not what you feel nor think. True, you do have feelings, thoughts and emotions, but you are not them. Within this therapeutic relationship, you will learn, recognize, and identify the secondary emotions and personalities that’s trying to manipulate, control and change your character and personality. You will also learn how to release yourself from the pain and guilt of harm done to you or the harm you have done to others or even to yourself. Our goals in therapy is not just to cope or manage these emotional concerns, but to completely get rid of and totally destroy them out of your life. Through self-reflection, therapy will help develop your capacity to be more self-aware, recognize and challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life functioning. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is an investment in self; it is an active step towards your healing journey. "Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing" 1. Love Everybody, 2. Forgive Everybody, 3. Respect Everybody, 4. Be Kind To Everybody & 5. Hold Everybody Accountable -- Starting With Yourself.

I’m a therapist who deeply believes in the power of change. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they face challenges, grow, and find new ways of moving forward, and I don’t take that lightly. Those moments of growth, big or small, feel sacred to me. I love working with adults and teens who struggle with anxiety and everyday challenges. My goal is to offer more than just insight; I want to give people tools they can actually use and to work myself out of a job. For most, therapy shouldn't last forever. My own struggles have helped me connect more deeply with the people I work with and given me a clearer sense of how meaningful and tough real change can be. Those experiences have shaped how I show up in the room, with compassion, curiosity, and a practical mindset. I focus on long-term growth, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and self-trust. Clients often tell me they feel calm, safe, understood, and not judged in sessions. I think that kind of connection is what makes therapy work. When people feel seen and valued, real change becomes possible. I believe in your ability to change, I’m honored to be here.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.

How much does therapy with a licensed therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person Utah therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $65 to $100 per week. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Is it possible to find a therapist, counselor, or psychology practitioner that offers affordable therapy?

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

When should I get a therapist in Utah?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

What can a psychologist help me with in therapy?

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of in-person or online therapy with a therapist in Utah?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Are online therapy sessions the safe option?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
